| Description | The Iowa Senate voted today to make Iowa the first state in the nation to protect citizens from unregulated campaign spending by big corporations and shadowy organizations.
Senate File 2354 * was approved by an overwhelming, bipartisan margin, 49 to 1.
This legislation is designed to ensure that Iowa voters — not corporate-funded ‘Swift Boat campaigns’—decide who’s elected in our state.” In Citizens United v. FEC , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations and unions have the same political free speech rights as individual citizens. |
